Is this an early sign of lymphoma?
Posted , 4 users are following.
I had mono about four months ago and now I am finally feeling somewhat better. But, recently I have convinced myself that I have lymphoma. A month ago I had a full blood work up and everything came back normal (my lymphocyte count was on the last number of the normal range). I don't have any swollen nodes and I recently had a chest x ray because I had a blocked colon. But, most recently, I noticed that when I drink alcohol, the left side of my neck hurts (it's like a stretching pain, not a sharp pain. But, my neck also hurts when I look to the left because I sleep weird, but I don't feel the pain like this throughout the day), but I am freaking out because I googled this and it said that this is a sign of Hodgkins Lymphoma. Could this just be because I'm thinking about it? I have no swollen nodes. I am only 19, and a full time college student, so having this worry really puts a burden on my academic performance.

I think sleeping weird is more of a problem than alcohol per se.

You said it yourself. I think the way you sleep affects the your muscles after you wake up. I think you should be careful the way you sleep. Its important to sleep well and to do what you can to have a good rest. Rest is vital for the health system.
